Chapter 211: I Won’t Disappoint You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was such a familiar feeling. A cold gleam showed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. He drew his sword back and stepped back.

The darksteel arrow flew over before him and gathered a strong wind. He heard the whooshing sound a few seconds later.

The arrow came so suddenly that no one had anticipated it.

The spectators thought it was from General Xue Jingtian at first. Then it occurred to them that the general only had one arm, so it would be impossible for him to shoot any arrow.

They took a deep breath when they saw who had shot the arrow.

“The Third Prince!”

They were most impressed by his arrogance, since he had the nerve to interfere with the competition before so many people.

“Xue Rentian has admitted his defeat. He said it. Do you still want to kill him?!” The Third Prince jumped into the ring. It was unbecoming for a villain to complain first.

Xue Rentian was relieved. He looked towards the Third Prince gratefully.

“You’re as arrogant as ever. As I recall, you were the first one to kill, weren’t you?” Jiang Chen said coldly.

“Ahem, that guy didn’t admit his defeat. I didn’t know whether he was playing a trick or not. Of course I had to get rid of him. Your case is completely different.”

The Third Prince was irritated when he saw the masked man was arguing with him.

“He didn’t finish his words either. According to you, what should I do?” Jiang Chen asked.

He hadn’t lost his senses due to anger. His words were quite logical.

“Do you think the whole world is as shameless as you?” But the Third Prince wasn’t going to respond to him directly. He only sneered.

Jiang Chen laughed instead of getting angry. He said, “Today I’ve learned what true shamelessness is.”

The Third Prince squinted his long, narrow eyes. He looked sullen, displaying a hostile attitude.

The spectators were astonished when they saw the masked man arguing with the Third Prince on the basis of reason. In the Fire Field, no one but fools would do that.

It was best to stay away from the Third Prince. There would be severe consequences if he became unhappy with someone.

Although he couldn’t kill people at will, he was a narrow-minded man and would pick a fight with those who had offended him later, like the “late” Jiang Chen of the Natural Law School. He had offended the Third Prince at the Natural Law School and nothing had happened to him under the protection of the school, but soon after, he had died in the Realm of Beasts at the Third Prince’s hands.

The Natural Law School hadn’t shown any intent to blame the Third Prince for his death so far.

“What do you say?”

Jiang Chen didn’t want to argue with the Third Prince anymore. He asked the judges in the square directly.

These people had been appointed by the royal family. They didn’t dare offend the Third Prince. One of them smiled frivolously and said, “You won. What do you think?”

“And no punishment for him? If I hadn’t dodged in time, I would have been killed by his arrow,” Jiang Chen said unhappily.

“Hmmm...”

The judges looked at each other and towards the palace wall.

The emperor of the Xia Dynasty was embarrassed. When he was still considering how to respond, the old man in the gray robe said directly, “Whoever undermines fairness should be disqualified.”

Everyone was shocked by his words.

The Third Prince had just entered the top twelve. Would he be disqualified this early?

“Senior, I refuse to accept the disqualification!”

The Third Prince hadn’t expected the consequence to be so severe either. He shouted loudly, “It’s him who violated the rules. It’s unfair for you to do this.”

He was used to behaving without the restriction of any rules. It was surprising to the others that he was defending himself.

“Anyway, you don’t get to interfere with the competition. It’s the judges’ business. You interfered, so you violated the rules,” the old man in the gray robe said.

Many people nodded. It made sense to them.

The Third Prince gnashed his teeth, extremely angry.

Xue Rentian, who had been rescued, started to worry for himself. If the Third Prince was eliminated because of him, he was afraid he would suffer in the future.

“Senior, please don’t eliminate the Third Prince.”

It was unexpected that the masked man was the first one to speak on behalf of the Third Prince. There was a great chance that his pleading would work, so the Third Prince wouldn’t be eliminated.

The Third Prince was dumbstruck, then beamed with self-satisfaction. He glanced at the masked man as if saying, “Wise of you.”

“Alas.”

Some people felt it a pity. They’d hated the Third Prince for a long time, but didn’t dare express it.

Their eyes had lit up when the masked man was reproaching the Third Prince, but they hadn’t expected the mask man to have given up so quickly.

On the palace wall, the emperor seized his chance and said, “Senior, my son and Xue Rentian grew up together in the imperial palace. They’re very close. He interfered because he was so worried.”

“Fine.”

The old man in the gray robe frowned. He didn’t look so happy with the result.

The Third Prince’s disqualification was cancelled. Jiang Chen won and advanced to the next round.

“There’s another thing I want to ask for,” Jiang Chen said before Xue Rentian left the ring. It caught everyone’s attention.

“Tell me. I’ll satisfy you no matter what it is,” the Third Prince grinned and promised him.

The other people were also curious about what he was going to say.

Jiang Chen ignored him and looked towards the palace wall. He spaced the words for emphasis, “Senior, I want to skip the draw and fight with the Third Prince in the next round. The fight won’t end until one of us dies.”

It was as if the temperature had dropped below zero. The atmosphere suddenly froze. No one dared make any noise.

The Third Prince and Xue Rentian, who were still in the ring, had unreadable expressions, especially the latter, whose mouth and eyes were both wide open.

He had thought himself tough, but he had to admit that the masked man was tougher than him.

He had never thought someone could talk like this before this day.

The spectators finally realized the masked man didn’t want the Third Prince to be eliminated, because he wanted to kill the latter.

Many people became emotional. They raised and waved their arms.

The Third Prince had irritated many people in the Fire Field since he was constantly condescending to people because of his identity as a prince, but no one dared do anything to him due to the power of the Xia Dynasty.

But then, the masked man brought them hope. They were excited and looking forward to the fight.

The Third Prince clasped his hands. He looked terrible.

It turned out the masked man didn’t fear him at all. Instead, he didn’t take him seriously.

He had only experienced this kind of anger when he was confronting Jiang Chen.

On the palace wall, Princess Crimson Moon had just changed into her long boots. She was surprised, too. She noticed her father’s serious look. In comparison to before, the old man’s knitted brows had become smooth.

“As long as it’s fine with the other participants.”

If he wanted to skip the draw, more people would be affected.

The other participants immediately expressed it was fine with them. No one wanted to confront the Third Prince. They would be more than glad to avoid him.

“So if you defeat one more rival and join the top twelve, you’ll fight with the Third Prince,” the old man said.

“You’ve gone too far!” the Third Prince stared at Jiang Chen and said. Then he jumped out of the ring.

Jiang Chen flashed a cold smile behind the mask as he walked away.

His next rival wasn’t on Chu Luo’s list.

“I’m no match for you. I quit. Take a good rest and don’t disappoint us.”

“I won’t,” Jiang Chen said.

As soon as his opponent went into the ring, he admitted his defeat, but not due to fear.

Wow!

It put the crowd in turmoil, while the Third Prince became extremely angry.

After the Third Prince’s abuse of power had been shaken by the masked man, many people started to vent their long repressed anger.

Some people recognized the participant who had quit as the friend of the guy the Third Prince had killed.

In this way, the masked man entered the top twelve and would have a life-or-death fight with the Third Prince!
